AIR FORCE NONE? 🥴 Trump’s Air Force One deal with Qatar isn’t final. Turns out he asked for the jet—they didn’t offer. And now Qatar wants a memo of understanding signed with DC first.
It’s very easy to buck the mainstream of academia/science when you’ve got a buttload of right-wing/corporate money backing you. Doesn’t make you Galileo. It makes you a shill.
🚨 For some reason, conservative activists are targeting Southern Company for standing firm on DEI initiatives. Southern Company shareholders voted to reject an anti-DEI proposal last week, 98-2 percent. Jeremy Tedesco is senior counsel for Alliance Defending Freedom, a Christian legal group.
Internal documents revealed that Trump and Musk have been LYING about Social Security fraud. So I sounded the alarm about DOGE slowing down Americans' benefits based on those lies—and they backtracked. We're not letting DOGE get away with messing with Americans benefits.
This would set a precedent. Fossil fuel companies need to pay for the damages and lives lost due to knowing full well what the results would be for what they were producing www.cbc.ca/news/science...
Does it come in an edible edition?
Trump saves his worse sociopathic impulses for folks who beat him fair and square.
🚨 Auntie Lynn is free!! Watch the outpouring of love. 🥺 Lewelyn had been detained by ICE since February, despite the fact that she is a legal permanent resident. Her community and her brothers and sisters in labor rallied around her, and SHE GOT OUT! Now THAT'S solidarity. #UnionsForAll
As the climate crisis brings on increasingly hotter summers, keeping our homes cool can be a matter of life or death. Meanwhile, Trump is trying to eliminate a program that helps millions of people pay their energy bills and keep the AC on. Hello?
Washington has a major corruption problem. From accepting jets from Qatar to selling pardons, the corruption hurts all of us. If you know people who regret their vote or didn’t vote, try to gently educate them about the dangers of this administration. mindyschwartz.substack.com/p/do-republi...
The fundamental flaw of broken authoritarian narcissists (the core of the right-wing coalition) is that they view empathy as a finite resource, such that, if you extend it to one group, you can't extend it to another. They see all of life through a lens of scarcity, competition, & selfishness.
Medicaid cuts don't matter because "we are all going to die" does not seem like a winning political message www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...
NEW: Former “We Buy Ugly Houses” franchise owner Charles Carrier agreed to plead guilty to one count of felony wire fraud that carries a potential 20-year prison sentence. The plea follows a ProPublica report detailing how Carrier bilked investors across Texas out of millions of dollars.
brilliant show. brilliant actress. brilliant activist. rest well, loretta.
I know I should take this seriously but this ICE tweet genuinely made me laugh.
Are we having an election night thread? Obviously there'll be lots of them, but I'm happy to host one too like we did on twitter last time Should we use the #BinNight hashie? People have said in a previous post (when I asked) they think it works well as a bat signal #AusVotes2025
📌Democrat Sheldon Whitehouse missed tonight's vote that would have put a check on Trump's damn tariffs, and he owes everybody a damn explanation RIGHT NOW.
We saw a turtle heading toward an insurmountable barrier on the highway, so @vicky.science screeched off to the side of the road, and I jumped out and sprinted toward the turtle. When I went to run into the road I saw an 18 wheeler coming so I started yelling and waving my hands and they stopped 🥹

All the money goes to Ukraine for ten years. By then a U.S. President will tear up the deal.
Yes, this is a genuine 1949 DC Comics illustration printed on book covers distributed to schools in the US.
A lot of fun was had at last week's Sorrento Writers Festival! I had a great session with Paul Kelly, Frank Bongiorno & Kim Carr on the election & the decline of the majors, to be broadcast on Radio National's Big Ideas @ 5pm May 1 & available thereafter on their app. www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...
Agreed.
I was asked today whether I think the Liberal party is cooked. I said: the Liberal party is like a rotten tree that just hasn't fallen over yet. But its heart is gone; its strength is gone. It's a shell of its former self - we just can't see that fully yet from the outside.
What do your First Nations say about this?
It was beautiful! Early Bluesky also had bedtime, when you had read all the day's posts and there wouldn't be any more until tomorrow
(reposted with alt text) listen I know this is like. nowhere near the top of the priority list in terms of what’s wrong with this statement. but assuming the average child owns 30 dolls is one of the most Lucille Bluth things he’s said in a long time
I fucking love getting owned by Canada.
And another BACKFLIP www.standard.net.au/story/895340...
Dutton doesn’t get fantastic mileage per litre.
In breaking news... Peter Dutton has just visited his 15th petrol station during the election campaign. Still no visits to any of his 7 proposed nuke sites. #auspol
To watch the ship sink.
Every time this happens, I am reminded of this all-timer from the onion:
"I want to switch over to Bluesky, but I just don't get the kind of engagement I get on Twitter." Wow, you mean your strategy of following 18 people here and showing up once every three weeks to complain about how quiet it is hasn't paid off? Surprising!
Quitting Twitter was easier than I ever thought it would be. It’s like looking at an old apartment now.
www.cnn.com/2025/03/10/p... Deleted tweets show top State Department official spread false rumor about Rubio’s sexuality, called him ‘low IQ’ Ha ha you don’t say?
The age of American barbarism is upon us…
If this administration can just remove green cards at will, then their $5 million green cards will be worthless! www.bbc.com/news/article...
Trump ran on lowering the price of eggs, restoring freedom of speech, ending the war in Ukraine and making America “great again.” Eggs are more expensive than ever, peaceful protestors are being arrested without cause and we’ve abandoned Ukraine. So, when exactly does the “great again” part start?
Interesting. So hacker group Dark Storm has taken credit for breaking Twitter. There have been at least 5 outages today
Carney: Canada never ever will be part of America in any way, shape, or form. We didn’t ask for this fight, but Canadians are always ready when someone else drops the gloves.
Strangely becoming parody has never brought down an autocrat.
They've become a parody of themselves.
Blue Sky sign-ups are rocketing as Twitter undergoes a rapid unscheduled disassembly today. At this rate, we should hit 33 million users by the end of the day. Go Blue sky! 🚀🦋 Bcounter.nat.vg
Tesla stock has now erased all of the gains that it has made since the election. Couldn't have happened to a better guy.
Overheard: The Tesla Chainsaw Massacre.
Bye bye conspiracy theorist.
BREAKING: Kia’s official Instagram account in Norway just posted this..
Does fascism really care about stock prices? Or is it about power and control?
With the CFPB on life support after the Trump administration issued a stop-work order and shuttered its headquarters, the agency finds itself with an unlikely ally: the same banks that reliably complained about its rules and enforcement.
Putin didn’t start with that level of consensus either. He built up to it over several years. While Trump distracts opponents by throwing everything against the wall, strategists are building support for his ongoing Presidency.
More every day.
Trump has created many options for a war. Canada, Mexico, Panama, Greenland (Denmark), Ukraine, all of Europe - for starters. Note they are all democracies and former U.S. allies.
Already is.
Note that no-one in the U.S. is free anymore.
Oralè Resister Women’s March USA Thousands women, men And families with children Marched across America to stand up for Women’s Rights! Thank you. Keep it up! We’re not free until All our Sisters are FREE! #WomensMarch #USDemocracy
Yes, for example Trump has a problem with a two term limit on Presidents, as did Putin in Russia. So Trump’s administration can now amend the U.S. Constitution, as Putin amended Russia’s. theconversation.com/how-vladimir...
I say that the U.S. has not only let the barbarians through the gate but put them in charge.
It's official: The lunatics are now running the asylum.
GOP Rep. Don Bacon: "Why is a White House official, that's not even elected, why is that person belittling the Polish foreign minister? It's not appropriate. It's not right. We need more discipline in the White House."
Only in America could a Ketamine-infused South African oligarch call a navy captain, astronaut and sitting US senator "a traitor" for supporting our allies and standing up to Russia...

As an Aussie traveling in the USA I have noticed many U.S. folks practice selective blindness. Effectively they don’t ‘see’ homeless people.
So buy them new clothes and give them all a bath & makeover, so they are Sightly Homeless?
This is the first page of this morning’s edition of the Globe and Mail (arguably the English Canadian paper of record) I don’t remember seeing anything like this before
What we saw last night was nothing but lies beyond count. The twisting of good projects overseas into dark evil and almost 5 minutes of lies about Social Security recipients. It’s all twisting reality so fools are eager to tear down the very system protecting them. They’re coming for ALL of it.
Should we dress up on Erotic World Book Day as we do on World Book Day?
Dude…
"They'll never cut Social Security" is the new "they'll never overturn Roe v Wade."
Waiting for my flight home from the USA. It’s been interesting to speak to US folks of all political persuasion over what is occurring here. Some folks are afraid, more are defiant. Few support Trump without question. For example MAGA folks hate DOGE & tariffs. Don’t believe the talking heads.
Glad to hear that.
I was an 80s kid. My mom worked, there were Black kids in my class, and I remember being super shocked when I found out the civil rights movement was only 20 years prior. That revelation is the original source for my interest in politics.
I used to have to scroll on twitter for a solid 5 minutes before I found some really crazy shit being proposed by an elected Republican. Now it’s every other post.
I am Canadian and I WILL NEVER AGAIN BUY AN ORANGE FROM FLORIDA OR A DROP OF FLORIDA ORANGE JUICE! FYI, Oasis orange juice is a Canadian brand that sources oranges from Brazil. BUY OASIS! 🍁
French Senator Claude Malhuret: "Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."
Shameless.
Someone bought it.
The Supreme Court decision should have been 9-0. The fact it was 5-4 reveals how utterly compromised the bench is in favor of right-wing authoritarianism.
It would be helpful if more people understood renewable energy is actually an extremely disruptive technology and the reason monied interests are trying to make folks hate it is that they are the ones which will be disrupted.
you’re fired. wait you’re rehired. email us a list of things you’ve done today wait forget it you’re fired again. come back your job was important. you’re fired. or hired. come in to the office. wait the office has no computers go home. we are the department of government efficiency.
The new head of the FDA division that regulates infant formula was in recent months a corporate lawyer defending a top formula maker from claims that its product gave rise to debilitating harm to premature babies.
Well said!
So how much did they pay per vowel?

To all MAGA folks - you don’t want to visit Australia… www.theguardian.com/environment/...
There is nothing standing between Trump and dictatorship. He just ordered his AG to investigate & prosecute anti-Christian behaviour.
Reformation preacher Georg Wagner was burned at the stake #onthisday in 1527 for his Anabaptist tendencies. The Duke of Bavaria offered him a rich, prosperous benefice to return to Catholicism. He refused. #badeurope
The UK post-Brexit hasn’t recovered to pre-2017 levels (Covid incl). And it won’t until Brexit is effectively reversed. It was the most harmful racist policy a nation has enacted in modern times. The economic benefit of migrants is clear. The gap is never filled by a flag-waving local. #auspol
It might be just me, but any profession that has to work for free because the service is too expensive & yet universally required is severely broken, poorly designed & not fit for purpose.
